Perhaps the most well known and popular of all the essential oils, and for good reason - Lavender has been used for thousands of years for its healing, antiseptic and sedative properties.

Lavender oil likely sparked modern interest in therapeutic essential oils after the ‘father of aromatherapy’, René-Maurice Gattefossé, attributed the healing of his hand from gas gangrene to Lavender. He went on to successfully use it in on wounded soldiers in the First World War.

Lavandin vs Lavender
Lavandin oils are produced from hybrid Lavender species Lavandula x intermida (from which it gets its name Lavand - in), which is a cross between so called 'True' Lavender (L. angustifolia) and Spike Lavender (L. latifolia). This hybrid yields much more oil than True Lavender and the oil is also higher in camphor. With the higher yield helping to keep the price down and the added punch of the camphor notes, Lavandin oils are often the preferred choice for soap and commercial personal care products.
Lavandin oils are further sub-categorised into classifactions such as Gross, Super, Labrialis etc...
At PureNature we stock Grosso and Super which have different levels of Key constituents.GROSSO: Higher in camphor and 1,8-Cineole, lower in Linalyl acetate and LinaloolSUPER: Lower in camphor and 1,8-Cineole, higher in Linalyl acetate and Linalool

FOR THE SKIN

FOR THE BODY
Lavender’s relaxing properties can help ease digestive, menstrual or muscular spasms.
Quick-acting for headaches when rubbed onto the temples or used in a compress, and wonderful to ease muscles and joints when added to a warm bath or body oil. It is also
helpful as an inhalation for respiratory congestion and tightness.

This smells divine! It is very well priced, I have never had a online order arrive so quickly and was so happy with the product and packaging, looks very proffessional. Can't wait to order more from Purenature! Looking forward to expanding my essential oils!

I ordered lavender oil, tea tree and lemon grass. I chose Purenature because of the value for money - many oils come as 50ml bottles, some as 100mls (you can pay the same price elsewhere for 15mls.) Delivery was very prompt. I also appreciate the bottles - they are plain and simple and clearly labelled.
I am travelling to Europe for the first time and am slightly nervous. Being able to take with me smells that I am familiar with will help a lot. I will take the lavender on the plane to help sleep.
